In Korea, the 31st Corona 19 confirmer came out from Daegu yesterday (18th). The first occurrence of Yeongnam region, as with patients 29 and 30, is not clear where they got infected. The number of confirmed cases was cured after two people were discharged yesterday, with the potential for increased community infection.

An additional 31 confirmed patients were 61-year-old Korean women living in Daegu.

Due to fever and pneumonia, I received a corona 19 diagnostic test at Daegu Suseong-gu Public Health Center at 3:30 pm on July 17th and was confirmed yesterday.

Currently, I am isolated in Daegu Medical Center negative pressure room.

Health authorities say the patient has had a chill since the seventh day and has had a fever of more than 38 degrees on the 10th.

On the 14th, when I had an imaging test at a Korean hospital hospitalized in a car accident, I found pneumonia, but only received antibiotics.

Patient 31 lived in Yeongnam, where there were no confirmed patients, and has never visited a foreign country since December last year.

As with the previous 29 and 30 cases, the path and cause of the infection are not known.

Meanwhile, the cumulative number of discharged domestic patients increased to 12, after 12, 14 patients, who had been contacted with a medical examiner in Japan, had been cured and discharged.
